\”ONE THOUSAND OPAS AND A DEAD BODY\” Part Three

A pilfered poison pabulum has pickled pieces of our protagonist\’s paunch while portentous poetic prophecies proudly parade apace, parlaying a perilous paradigm. Paraphrasing – Skullkickers is a particularly perfect packaged pamphlet of plucky pulp worth every precious penny in perpetuity. Purchase!

\”Zubkavich continues to be one of comics\’ best fantasists. This rowdy action story has whimsy, charm and wit.\”
– Gail Simone (Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman)

Re-introduction

Well, hello!

For those of you new to the site, let me give you the quick rundown:

SKULLKICKERS is a brand new comic series coming September 22nd from Image Comics. It\’s a fantasy action-comedy about two mercenaries who are too stupid to stop and too tough to die.

If you enjoy Army of Darkness, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Hellboy or have great memories playing D&D with your friends, then this comic is going to push some happy buttons, I assure you.
